FreeBSD is doing a great job catching up to Linux, yes, (not in the ZFS case though where they were the pioneers) but once you start catching up you have to, well, continue catching up in perpetuity.
Na, FreeBSD is not catching up/down to Linux..absolutely no interest..with one exception..drivers.
But if you work with Illumos or *BSD's for a extended time, Linux feels dirty and bloated..just not right anymore, if you like linux good...i am happy for you but i try to avoid linux if i can (obviously not always the case...OracleDB, DB2, k8s and so on).
>ZFS case though where they were the pioneers
No that was OpenSolaris...and i am still sad about it.
But Jails? I would say that was a real pioneering, whereas Solaris came a bit later with Zones and then a decade later Linux, you probably call that containers "a pure linux invention" today ;)

Containers are a pure Linux invention: BSD jails/Solaris zones are a different creature to Linux namespaces and cgroups - the lack of isolation is what enables composibility of containers
> Containers are marketing slang for operating-system virtualization.
Containers are considerably more than virtualization[1], which is why jails/zones/kvm never took off, but Docker did.
> Oh really? So containers are not isolated to each other...that's some news...bad ones
Indeed, containers make for very poor security boundaries. But there are upsides to sharing the same kernel.
> composibility....stop with that stinking shit please.
Are you unfamiliar with "composition" as a software design/architecture term? One can create and bundle (Docker) containers that work together and have a shared network interface in a way that jails can't. As an example, a reverse proxy + service backend + db working in concert.
1. Disk storage format, standardized packaging descriptor, repository.
It's like you don't even understand what a container is, let alone comparing kvm with jails.
Then giving a example that is a piece of cake for jails/zones...even in a concert.
Please educate yourself about zones, brandedzones and lxzones (for the solaris/illumos) or jails (for the bsd side) it's really interesting i can tell you, and additionally you don't sound like marketing blabla after that.
Yes please. ECC support by now should come by default, both in CPU support and in motherboards, RAM chips etc.
At least AMD Ryzen supports it, but the fact that one has to spend a lot of time to research through products, specs, forums and internet chats to figure out a good CPU, m/b & RAM combination that works is cumbersome, to say the least.
> As far as I can tell, hundreds of millions in drugs and contraband are regularly transacted using Bitcoin. Billions in global capital controls and taxes are evaded every day with Bitcoin. The fraction of black market participants who are revealed on the basis of "chain analysis" is still a rounding error.
Some bold statements there. Do you have any evidence to provide?
As commenters hinted at in a previous thread, the price is a measure of the combination of demand and supply. The mechanics of Bitcoin only address the supply side. OP hinted at the demand side: if a new cryptocurrency were to become more popular, then Bitcoin could lose value.
Maybe, if you completely disregard everything else that Bitcoin puts on the table, and how much energy is required to sustain the infrastructure it will make obsolete.
There's also CMU Typewriter text if you want another serif monospaced font. Looks wonderful in high dpi I believe. I've hacked mine to put slashed zero.
I found that one of the most important insights when studying how computers work on a fundamental level, is that deep down data and code don't make much difference. This realization can open the gates of looking at higher programming language concepts in a new light; even if one never delves into bare metal engineering.
You can really take this two ways: one part being about von Neuman architectures, the other side culminating in Lisp. They’re fairly separate but both interesting views on computing. Of course, the opposite viewpoints also do exist, as Harvard architectures and your favorite “blub” language is still used today…
This became apparent to me once I learned a Turing machine can compute anything λ calculus can and vice versa. Is this also also a conclusion you can reach by thinking about computer hardware? Would love to hear more about the thought process.
Because everything is on Ethereum. Once you're in the Ethereum eco-system, there's no reason to leave. Once you're in Ethereum, then you can do whatever you want. Trade on DEXs, do swaps, lend, borrow, leverage, stablecoins, zk mixing, farm liquduity tokens, etc. Once you use Monero, if you ever want to do anything useful with your crypto, you're going to have to inject it into the Ethereum ecosystem, and that inherently means interacting with a CEX. So why not skip that step and just deposit your crypto into tornado.cash and wait for the pool to be sufficiently mixed. That way, you never need to interact with a CEX to actually use dapps on Ethereum.
That's true. It would be great to see some more variety in chains being used, but right now everything is being done on ethereum. We need some more bridges to other chains, otherwise there is no reason for anyone to spread out.
